Pros

Large company with competitive benefits, has attracted great employees from many respected companies but it ends there

Cons

Where do I start? Struggles to run efficiently and within US regulations. Great staff in the banks but home office senior management combats with Spain oversight that is not in tune with US ways and respect for employees or US regulations. This creates the kind of environment where "they eat their own young" is an apt description. Many workers that came from great companies but found no greatness become unhappy and paranoid. No respect for diversity or inclusion. No respect for life work balance.

Pros

NONE! Oh wait...they just got rid of the worst, most pompous executive. The old saying "what goes around, comes around" rings true thankfully!

Cons

Some of the dumbest people I have worked with in my career that has spanned 20 plus years in Financial Services. Everything is broken - Technology, processes, people. How about start with the golden rule - treat others as you would like to be treated. I knew there was a reason why I never opened a bank account here when I joined. I never trusted the company - and once you see behind the curtain....you might be ill.
